Most schools are happy to have one relatively smart kid in their midst, so it’s pretty incredible to have ten geniuses in one school at the same time.

St Bede’s Catholic College in Bristol can call itself one of the brainiest schools in the country, after it was discovered that 10 of its current pupils have IQs so high that they are officially geniuses.

The average IQ score for the population is 100, and anyone who scores higher than 140 is officially declared a genius.

Isabel Romero and Molly Dolan both recorded IQ scores of 161. This is higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking’s suspected IQs (neither man has ever actually taken a IQ test), and only one mark off the highest possible IQ score achievable on the test.

Of the 10 high-scoring students, the lowest IQ was 148, which is still in the top two percent of the population.

Mensa have invited the ten students to become part of the organisation following their impressive scores.
